Really enjoyed this bottle - on the nose, light berry notes - maybe blueberry and some strawberry, but again, light, and light mushroom/forest floor that I usually pick up more of in Oregon pinots. Smooth and balanced across the palate with lots of cherry and strawberry, nice mouthfeel as well. Leave a little more coating on the tongue than I like - would personally prefer a touch more tannins on the finish to close it out, but nevertheless really a nice bottle. Can't imagine it'll get any better than now.

This is rich, lush, red plush fruit, slightly candied in texture yet a joy to drink, pushing the limits on ripeness but everything in balance. A pure joy

The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (My House, Houston, TX): Retail $62. On the dark side in the glass with more of a candied fruit (cherry Jolly Rancher) on the nose along with some cardamom and baking spice. Really fruity on the palate, a crowd-lover’s kind of Pinot. Still, this is particularly well-made with some tannin on the finish. Still? I really like it. I guess I am part of the crowd? Outstanding. 94 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com
